I have pieces from an old chess game that I played a lot during my adolescence and so I have a special affection for it.

This game is missing some pieces that unfortunately have been lost over the years. I don't have 3D modeling skills and I would like to know if there is any way or service for me to recreate these lost parts to be printed on a 3D printer.

All help is welcome and thank you all!

Don't take this the wrong way but, what skills do you have?

If you're a maker type there are some raspberry pi based 3d scanners that might be a good start.

Looks like it's less dead than some of the others.

Or there are commercial options.
